The Blooloop 50 Museum Influencers List 2022 includes a number of individuals affiliated with ASTC-member organizations. The list highlights 50 key individuals whose innovation and creativity have been integral to developing today’s museums. As the museum industry continues to reinvent itself, it is not surprising to see so many names familiar to ASTC on the Blooloop 50 list.
The third Blooloop 50 list for museums is launched in partnership with Barco, which develops networked visualization solutions for museums and cultural and entertainment attractions.
